does this mean something serious is wrong?

I'm 7w6d today& last night when I got home from work my legs felt very tight.. Sure enough my ankles& calves were swollen! Is it normal this soon to have swelling like that? This morning they are better but still a little tight feeling.. Has anyone else experienced this?

I'd give the dr a call, although I never had swelling until around 35 weeks, but when I did it was high blood pressure related... They might just tell you to rest and elevate your feet and monitor it, but a call for reassurance wouldn't hurt!

Thanks for all the responses.. I have no swelling today, although I didn't work! I'm going to see the dr on Friday unless it comes back again I'll call sooner. I'm a nurse & on my feet all day at work so it seems like that's most likely the cause. I guzzled water today & am so happy for no swelling!
